Free Vancouver Canucks vs. Washington Capitals NHL Prediction:
The Capitals have dominated Vancouver through their previous 10 head-to-head matchups with an 8-2-0 record. The over/under has gone 5-4 during the stretch.
Washington has been able to put the puck in the net for an average of 3.70 goals per night during the 10 games while giving up an average of 2.50 to the Canucks.
The Capitals have only managed to score four power-play goals through the span on 24 opportunities. Vancouver has found the net on 11 of their 37 power-plays.
I’m liking the total going over six and a half in this game. Both teams are scoring more than three goals per game while giving up around the same number.
Vancouver has been improving on the defensive side of the ice but I think they take a step or two backward on Saturday. The Canucks will have their hands full dealing with both the Capitals offense and an intense Washington crowd. I see this being a high scoring game.
